Grok

Overview

Connect Grok to your SolarAssistant account to ask questions in plain language. Grok reads your sites, live metrics, settings, events and shop orders through the SolarAssistant MCP server, and can even build your solar business customer portal.

You sign in with your SolarAssistant account. There is no API token to create and nothing to install. Grok only sees the sites your account can already see.

Step 1 - Open the connectors page

Connectors are managed on grok.com, not in the X app. Open the following address in your browser and click New Connector: 

https://grok.com/connectors
The New Connector button on the Grok connectors page

Step 2 - Add the SolarAssistant connector

Select Custom at the top of the list.

The Custom option at the top of the New Connector dialog

Enter SolarAssistant as the name and the following as the server URL:

https://solar-assistant.io/mcp

Then click Add Connector.

The Custom Connector form with the SolarAssistant name and server URL filled in

Step 3 - Allow access

Sign in to SolarAssistant if you are not signed in already. Review what Grok is asking for and click Allow access. All of the access is read only.

The SolarAssistant page asking you to allow Grok access to your account

You are returned to Grok and the connector is ready to use.

Step 4 - Ask Grok about your system

Start a chat, click the + next to the message box and select Connectors to check that SolarAssistant is switched on.

The SolarAssistant connector switched on in the menu next to the Grok message box

Then ask a question. Some examples:

Find out what went wrong

"My inverter just switched to grid, check my settings and figure out why that happened."

Save more on grid energy

"Look at how my system has been running and tell me if there are inverter settings you would change to use less grid energy."

Build your own customer portal

"Help me customize a custom solar monitoring portal for my business."
